We can't thing of a better way to start the day than with singing and scripture! Some of the verses used this week in devotion time were:

• James 4:10
• Philippians 2:3-5
• Philippians 2:6-11
• Philippians 2:12-13
• 1 Timothy 4:12

The kids loved getting some sweet treats from our PTF Bake Sale!

Thank you to everyone who provided goodies, helped with the event, and allowed their child to participate. The money raised will be used to help with PE equipment.

*The next upcoming PTF event will be the Fall Festival on October 20th. Volunteers are always needed!

It was a busy week of volleyball for our Lady Lions this week!

From away games, to home games, to county tournament games.... you name it, they played it! The Youth teams and the Junior High team have finished for the season. The JV and Varsity teams will continue their season for a few more weeks.

We are proud of our players. They have worked hard all season and have improved so much!

Congratulations to this CCS 3rd Grade Volleyball Team on placing 2nd in the county tournament! The girls played a hard fought game. They went toe-to-toe with a very talented Fairview team. After splitting sets in the championship, the title was decided in a tie-breaker set. Congratulations to all the players and coaches on a great season!

Several of the lower school classes had fun this week learning about Johnny Appleseed. They used apples for science experiments, measuring tools, and of course.... yummy snacks!

Not even hurricane winds and rain can take the smile off Dr. Boyd's face! We love having his energy, positivity, and love for Jesus on campus. Thank you, Dr. Boyd for always being such an encouragement to those around you!

Mrs. Ayers upper school photography class traveled this week to Huntsville to experience the works of Vincent Van Gogh in person. The exhibit included interactive models and they got to experience some of the more famous paintings through VR goggles.

Students in 4th-6th grade traveled this week to the upper school to participate in a Talent Show. All we know to say is.... WOW! They did an awesome job.

• 1st Place: Jude Smothers - Dancing

There are only two weeks left in our first academic quarter. Students and teachers are working hard to stay on pace and finish strong!

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. -Colossians 2:23-24

Purposeful play is a huge part of child development. To capitalize on learning opportunities, preschool classes use learning centers that are fun and engaging for students. Centers allow young children to learn in the most meaningful way, through hands-on play experiences. If you walk in to Mrs. Rutherford, Mrs. Snow, or Mrs. Frame's class you will see these play areas that help the children develop mentally, physically and socially.

The Student Ambassador program we started earlier this year has been going so well that we have decided to extend the opportunity to parents! Attached you will find an application that will not only give you more information about what we expect from ambassadors, but will be a way we can collect more information about you. Read over the application, pray, and decide if this is something you would be interested in. If it seems like a good fit for you, please fill out by October 4th. Parent Ambassador Application

This will not take the place of our current PTF, it will simply enhance it by assisting us to reach families in a more individualized manner. It will help us to ensure information is being communicated more efficiently.

As the school grows, communication is becoming more important than ever. I look forward to the great things we will be able to accomplish by working together.

We seem to be having an issue with school emails from Gradelink going to spam/junk folders. This can happen when emails are sent out in bulk to a large number of email addresses. Please check your email spam folder for missed emails.

Mark your calendar!
